Обсуждение: Firebird adds Oracle-compatibility version
Slashdot is running a story about a Firebird fork that adds Oracle compatibility to allow Compiere to run unmodified: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/26/1845230&tid=221 This reply really sums it up: http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=123253&cid=10356539 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been watching the devel list as those creating fyracle have been asking about how to go about implementing this compatibility ... don't expect these features to be merged into the main tree. Oracle's made some pretty silly design decisions along the way, and other database teams/vendors take exception at the suggestion they should reproduce the quirks found in other products. ... Oracle's a bit of a whore as far as implementing just about anything they think will get software sold -- even if it's an absolutely abysmal idea. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
